It seemed to me, though, that streams are related to channels, and that it may be possible to use the same (or a slightly more generalized) abstraction? (I should perhasp experiment a bit with concurrent programming and streams, and it'll surely become apparent how and why I'm mistaken :-)

I don't necessarily think you are mistaken, but why re-invent the wheel when channels are almost ideal for the job (inter-thread FIFO's)... At the end of the day streams between processes are channels... in effect (non seekable) streams are extending channels to IO. Keean.
